The architecture of the Aruba CX 10000 Series Switch is designed with embedded Pensando Distributed Services Modules (DSMs), featuring two DSMs per switch to create a Distributed Services Switch (DSS). The Aruba CX 10000 Series Switch is perfectly suited for data centers and edge deployments requiring high-performance switching, built-in firewall and telemetry capabilities, and a streamlined approach to reduce appliance sprawl by integrating services directly into the switch. One limitation of the Aruba 10000 Series switch is that flow synchronization is managed using VSX, a proprietary solution. This synchronization takes place over the ISL (Inter-Switch Link), which can pose challenges in non-VSX environments, especially EVPN standard-based Multihoming. This paper addresses this issue by presenting an alternative method for flow synchronization that operates independently of VSX, enabling wider applicability in modern data center architectures.
